CEF on Instagram

Current statistics reveal that mental health challenges are likely to affect every individual in Australia, either directly or indirectly at some point in their life, and regional Australia is disproportionately affected.

@absstats state 38.8% of Australian people aged 16-24 years have had a 12-month mental health disorder.

Thanks to the Hand to the Land fundraiser, we will be able to to make a difference and deliver mental health first aid training to our network in conjunction with Mental Health First Aid Australia.

This is possible thanks to the incredible ~$200,000 raised!

Read all about the story behind the initiative and how it will benefit our communities here under `Blogs` in our link in bio.

We`d like to thank our Principal Partner, @auctionsplus, for hosting the auction and making it possible. 🤩

The Walker family’s heartbreaking story shines a light on the struggles faced by those in rural and regional areas. The ABS statistics speak for themselves ‘38.8% of Australian people aged 16-24 years have had a 12-month mental health disorder’, these are our students, our friends, our future.

CEF fosters further education, career, and personal development opportunities of rural and regional youth, through community-based financial assistance and wrap around support. That’s why we’ve teamed up with #handtotheland and @mhfa_australia to improve mental health literacy in these communities. Education is key to making a difference.

CEF’s local committees across the country are run by community volunteers all with one thing in common – a passion for seeing rural and regional youth succeed. Arming our 46 committees and hundreds of volunteers with the Mental Health First Aid Australia’s education course is vital in building the knowledge of our communities on how to support those affected with mental health challenges. The #handtotheland funds will also support CEF students studying and looking to work in the mental health sector.
